Any post that starts off saying it is not click bait, well you know the rest. This feels like a flaky post.


This was the least amount of found gold for the hour I spent! Other times that were worse were hours spent with no gold. Luckily, the hot spot still to this day isn't in east fork so I'm ...

***WHITE BOY FINDS MASSIVE GOLD IN MILLARD!!!! NOT CLICKBAIT***

Today I had some light plans to prospect my classic spot but some stuff changed around and I ended up going to Millard. I didn't write a report about this but I biked up Chaney to the dawn mine trail a few weeks ago and panned a bit ...

One I can use especially for camping. Something ideally lightweight which this one def is

I'm writing this at the Specialty Coffee Association convention in San Diego right now. Just purchased a new Cezve from STC, the same company as my standard camping cezve. This one I got is probably 100g in weight but I will weigh it at some point today! Stoke is high af

Have fun man! I think im 2 years out before I attempt this but im very excited for you to get back out there and race!

It's been tough for anyone to get accurate information even in the beginning of Monica's disappearance...


To add to this, my map on caltopo that's linked to your blog, is only updated when someone emails me to texts me their track. I downloaded the search group's maps occasionally before they ...

Knowing you and knowing your immense fear of rope climbing just a year ago, I am beyond impressed by these routes and grade! Your level of endurance for all this stuff for back to back days is pretty badass!!!!!

What was it like doing that ropeless approach? Was it easier or harder than ...

Dima comes with freshly ground coffee while I come with pre ground coffee mixed with sugar and cardamom

Careful bro. Melted snow is as dangerous as non melted snow. Close baldy

Sean you have the ability to bring sasquatch into this Convo and it might actually be credible lol

This is what happens when something can't be explained, all the conspiracy theorists come out with these wild tales that have nothing to do with anything other then it is possible so you can't say 100% positively it is not. This is standard procedure and if she isn't found for a longer time period ...

Man! I wanna have a party in front of that fireplace!

My dad sent this to me. Makes the whole lore go a level deeper with fun.

Helo is an MD500, looks like LASD.

You're right on the heli! It was sheriff from Pomona

Too cool!

Great spot for capturing mountain lion activity with a trail cam.

Are those isolated trees dispersed through out the flat planted by man?

Can it fill up with water during extreme rain fall? Would such water percolate down through the soil before filling the flat to the point it would ...

Armenian coffee on the Cezve at Browns Flat

Last year, Dima and I made it to the legendary Browns Flat and you can read all about it here!

This year, I challenged myself and my friends to do an overnight in the flat which proved to be the best camping spot in the San Gabriels. I dreamed of it for a whole year since the last trip, wondering ...

lol I’ll look into that

I feel like JTK is back again renaming peaks with different names and SUPER incorrect elevations. Just saw Sunset Point has been renamed to Brindle Mountain on Google Maps and i'm irritated. Only 2 years ago, https://eispiraten.com/viewtopic.php?p=70093&hilit=JTK#p70093 I stole the Philips Point ...

The overalls are super key


Seriously though, they really are! I got a pocket for my gold sucking bottle, a pocket for my phone, a zip pocket for my keys and wallet, a loop for my hammer pick. Then they are durable and haven’t been damaged even from all the rolling around in the dirt I’ve done ...

Imma make one of these threads for my upcoming Armenia trip! Hell yeah dude thanks for the knowledge

HEY

sup guys?????? Got myself a new mini sluice box from dream mat, specifically the 4x16 clean up mat. This thing is designed for home use and not recommended for rivers since it's short and tiny and you'll probably lose gold with it. That didn't stop me cuz I had the most productive 1.5 hours I've ...

Went panning and sluicing again today. Wanted to hit the OG pit and try the sluice box some more. Water flow is very very very very hard to control in this thing so this might be the last time I'll use it under these conditions. I'm definitely losing gold with it if it's not at perfect flow ...
